The Hockey News’s Cole Hayes posted a slightly light-hearted column as to “How Your Favorite Team Will Disappoint You in 2023-2024,” and here’s his take on the Red Wings’ gloom-o-meter:
Detroit Red Wings: The Red Wings will be fun to watch this year after adding Alex DeBrincat to a good young core. Unfortunately, Moritz Seider won’t be able to carry the defensive load on his back, and Wings fans will have to wait just a bit longer for their playoff return.
Continued; I could’ve sworn that Mo can’t do it alone, and that’s why the Red Wings went out and signed both defensemen and forwards who are two-way performers, hopefully alleviating the strain on Seider’s back.
